same enter section earlier this year. >> it happened the first time, second time. so the third time they decide to do something? and everything to prevent accidents like this? the thing that hurts is that she was my cousin, and she's my blood. and they don't do nothing about it. >> reporter: chief davis says he feels the family's pain and the community's anger. >> as i sit here, i'm not just a police chief, but i'm a father and grandfather. so i can't imagine such a loss, to even think about the pain for everyone in this room. >> reporter: the city's traffic consultant will be finished with his report by friday. next tuesday, recommendation also be made to the council on how to make the intersection safer. george kiriyama, nbc bay area news. also new at 11:00, a strong earthquake shook off the coast of oregon just a few hours ago. a 5.9, about 145 miles west of

now there's nothing possible for people. people come out of college and they don't have a chance for a job. >> reporter: organizers blame big banks that received federal bailouts while foreclosing on homeowners for the nation's economic crisis. >> the only thing that we can do as consumers is to get the word out there to move your money from the big banks to a community bank or a credit union. >> reporter: but some argue the criticism is largely misplaced. >> i mean, let's face it, corporate america, it's what keeps people employed and the big machine of america working. >> reporter: but whether you agree or disagree with the movement's message, it seems to be getting louder. >> over $90,000 raised through our platform. >> reporter: rich is the founder of a silicon valley startup that collects money online. he says donations for occupy wall street are coming in daily from people mostly in their early 20s. >> it's normal people taking it

area. garvin thomas takes us in depth in search of the super note. >> reporter: you could try, but you would fail. we're sure of it. given all the time you want, you could not tell which of these $100 bills is real, and which is fake. not even san francisco's top law enforcement official, its former police chief can do it. >> i would not be able to tell the difference at all. >> reporter: these fakes are just that good. >> i believe it's the highest quality counterfeit in the world, period. >> reporter: assistant district attorney michael sullivan and his boss are talking about these. 361 counterfeit $100 bills. $36,000 linked to a man named peter chang. the 81-year-old chang owns a china town jewelry store.

he was recently convicted of using those counterfeit bills to buy gold coins from two other chinatown merchants in 2007. his victims, though, weren't the ones that spotted the fakes. even bank tellers didn't pick it up. it took a machine to detect the counterfeits and the secret service to trace them back to chang. >> there's an imperfect of the printing of the n in the united states states and in the lower right hand corner, it generally turns from green to black, in this case it goes from green to ma genta. >> reporter: other than, that they're exact replicas. the right paper, the right ink. even down to security threads and water marks. the bills are perfect. in fact, it's how they got their name, super notes. >> a super note is so perfect it's better than the original.

>> reporter: kevin hall is a correspondent for the mcclatchy newspaper chain. he's been reporting on super notes nor years. the first one appeared in 1989, and since that time, the federal reserve has pulled $500,000 in circulation. still, no one knows for sure who is making them, where in the world they are, and how they got their hands on the right equipment and raw materials. >> you can argue that it's easier to get your hands on nuclear materials than it is to get your hands on this bank note printing equipment. >> reporter: the united states government has accused north korea of making the notes. but many experts question if that country is even capable. there is good evidence north korea plays a role in circulating the money. still -- >> there's a very big distinction between distributing them and making them. >> reporter: so that leaves unanswered the most important

question, who brought the bills to san francisco? just how many more of them are out there undetected? and if the experts have trouble spotting the fax, what hope do the rest of us have? >> everybody uses cash to some degree. anyone can be a victim. and the victim in the case is the last person with the currency in their hand. >> reporter: in san francisco, garvin thomas, nbc bay area news. >> peter chang was convicted by a jury in august for passing the fake bills. he'll be sentenced this november. while it's not likely you could spot a super note, there are things people can do to protect themselves, such as asking for identification before accepting $100 bills. >> let's turn things over to jeff ranieri and talk about the warmup we're experiencing. thursday the warm day now? >> yes. it's going to be the hottest this week. this forecast is by all means true and exact here as we head into the end of the workweek. let's take a look at the highs.

81 in concord, 82 in san jose. numbers 5 to 10 degrees as what we had at the start of the week. we are starting to cool off here. 67 in oakland. 64 in concord and 66 in san jose. so let's get you into tonight. some clearing out here at the coastline. fog stays well offshore and as we continue throughout thursday, numbers 5 to 10 degrees above average. with all of this sunshine, that warm weather may have you heading out to the beach, but there is going to be dangerous rip currents out here. we have mid and high level cloud cover, but that's not going to be producing rainfall from us. it's part of this expanse of a system stretching 1,946 miles here offshore, but it's continuing to get pushed up here off towards the north, all this cold air is getting held at bay from a stationary front. so high pressure that produced record setting heat in los angeles, triple digit

temperatures, is just going to edge up closer to us, increasing the heat throughout the next 48 hours. so for tomorrow, looking at those fog-free conditions at the coastline. and throughout friday, it's going to stay warm throughout our interior sections. as for tomorrow, we're going to start off with 55 in santa rosa and 55 in san rafael with low to mid 60s in san francisco and our highs tomorrow, close to 90 degrees in morgan hill and for gilroy. 88 in dublin. 85 in san jose with upper 70s to low to mid 80s from san francisco down the peninsula. and throughout concord, pittsburgh and fairfield, mid 80s tomorrow and 86 in napa. with 85 in santa rosa and 84 in lake port. morning time on the weather channel and on cable. and you'll notice on our seven-day forecast, warm, mid to upper 80s and saturday and

sunday, cloud numbers start to go down and by next wednesday, we have a chance of showers coming back into the forecast with also temperatures in the 70s. so we are looking at some gradual changes to bring us back to, well, reality for this time of the year as we head throughout next week. tomorrow, warm to hot. not looking at major records set here across the bay area. but it's something that is unusual for us. >> forget next week, we'll just focus on the next few days. still ahead, the country flying you in for free. find out how to get a ticket.

it does seem odd that anyone other than the san francisco giants own the san francisco logo. but one company is planning on suing the team saying it does. turns out both the giants and the mlb never trademarked the logo. so back in march, go-go sports of hayward, a company that sells giants gear on the streets, did just that. major league baseball tried to trademark the logo a month later but couldn't. the good news for the giants, law protects unregistered trademarks and because the logo is clearly associated with the team already, the team basically owns it any way. >> so there. some wild endings in the baseball playoffs tonight. and when coach harbaugh talks, people listen.
